Haha yeah exactly the same here pal, the waiting is killing me off, do you think we'll be in the January's intake?
I won't pass medical due to medication I am taking. Asked doctor for alternative but got told there isnt one. Asked works doctor about the medication and informed any safety critical duties I will be restricted from as if the medication is administered further medical attention is required. Looks like my driving career has come to a permanent end!! All the best to those still waiting to hear.
In my interview she said it looks like the September one is full but the next ones in January, so I think so, I hope so they're taking alot of people on so I would have that as long as you pass the medical jobs yours! just want my medical now then there is only ine letter I have to sit in front of the front door for haha
When at my Stage 2 there was a guy claiming he knew someone who worked for both Intermodal and one at Heavy Haul. He seemed convinced there was a course starting about October 20th? Yeah, yeah I know "friend who work for them" 
He was going for Intermodal, maybe they have different courses, or do they share the same basic initial classroom course? This may explain people initially thinking there was an intake in September and October?
But if people are hearing the next one is January from people at an interview then that seems far more credible!

Mine arrived yesterday. Already signed and sent back!
Received my letter today unfortunately unsuccessful after the DM interview ( just over 4 weeks ago)
Due to the high number of applicants according to the letter I won't be receiving individual feedback good luck everyone still waiting

Hi mate, your guy is correct there's an Intermodal training course starting on Oct 20th (I'm on it). I was told following a fully booked course in May that I'd be on a course in October or Feb, so it seems they run a month apart if HH is this Sept or next Jan.
Glad to be on the October course though, missed one in May and applied way back in December. Patience is a virtue as they say.
Hi how long before the course started did u find out? I passed medical early July for HH but have to give 2 months notice so will prob miss the sept one. Hoping for January but wondered when I might find out!?

Sounds good! I'm in Peterborough itself.

Hi Andy-Mc
Any news yet mate... fingers crossed

Found out this week so well within two months.
Another well done to all who passed, and sorry for those who didn't.
I sat my DM interview on the 31st July and have not heard anything as yet. Looking at other peoples posts it looks like you can wait up to 3 weeks post interview to be invited to a medical, or if unsuccessful people are informed by letter around a month after the interview.
